I need to copy a text to clipboard on clicking a button using either javascript or jquery.
I found many options for doing this in other browsers..IE, Chrome, Firefox. But couldn't achieve in Safari Version 9.0.
I tried document.execCommand('select') and document.execCommand('copy'). But the latter returned false. So copy didn't work.
iMac, OS X El Capitan (10.11)
Please check my solution.
It works on Safari (tested on iPhone 7 and iPad) and on other browsers.

Can I use clipboardData object for auto copying content in a textbook to clipboard on clicking a button?
ClipboardData returns undefined in safari
The use of clipboad inside javascript is limited by security constraints.
However it is, read this post on the matter.
